Phoenix Tailings is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who will play a critical role in developing and validating the electrical systems that power the next generation of clean metals production. This engineer will lead the design, testing, and deployment of electrical power and instrumentation systems that support new processing technologies. The role requires a hands-on builder who can turn rough requirements into fully engineered solutions, demonstrate electrical systems with rigorous calculations and testing, and help accelerate the deployment of infrastructure that enables sustainable critical metals production.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the design, testing, and lifecycle validation of electrical power components used in critical metals processing systems
Develop electrical architectures and calculations to demonstrate and validate new electrical apparatus and system solutions
Design and implement instrumentation and electrical measurement systems to support process development and system validation
Create strategic engineering plans to design, build, test, and prove new electrical systems and infrastructure
Translate early-stage concepts and rough requirements into complete electrical engineering projects and system designs
Lead hands-on electrical system builds, commissioning, and troubleshooting during equipment development and deployment
Produce electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and documentation to support fabrication, installation, and operation
Coach and support early-career engineers in electrical design, testing, and practical engineering execution
Qualifications:
7+ years of electrical engineering experience in industrial systems, power systems, or process equipment environments
Strong experience with electrical power systems, system sizing, and engineering calculations
Hands-on experience designing, building, and testing electrical equipment and control systems
Experience working with industrial instrumentation and measurement devices
Proficiency in electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and system documentation
Ability to translate high-level technical needs into structured engineering designs and implementation plans
Bachelor’s or higher degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
